Big face in the water – level 3, A12

It’s not the kind of thing you expect to see on your local beach. Yes, this giant sculpture in the shape of a human head has been unveiled on Botafogo Beach in Rio de Janeiro.

It's the latest work from Spanish artist Jaume Plensa and it’s part of the "Other Ideas for Rio" exhibition, officially opening at the end of the week.

The exhibition will feature other international artists at some of the city's main landmarks. And the aim is to bring art to people who wouldn't otherwise get to see it because of the rush of city life.
